Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
We agree with the Supreme Court that triable issues of fact exist (see, CPLR 3212 [b]) as to whether the third-party defendant Playfield Industries, Inc., is a "mere continuation" of All Pro Athletic Surfaces such that it may be held liable for the negligent acts alleged in the plaintiff's pleadings (see, Schumacher v. Richards Schear Co., 59 N.Y.2d 239). Mangano, P.J., Thompson, Friedmann and Florio, JJ., concur.
